You split some to pc/mac but not reaper?

That's going to skew the results significantly.

Reaper is not yet released for Mac (its Beta). So I think its not the big problem when some of the Betatesters for the Mac version counting for Reaper at all ;)

There is also a "problem" with EnergyXT. I'm not sure if its developed anymore as a public available DAW. But they had a deal with Behringer?
Unfortunately I cannot edit the poll, also to add some DAWs others suggested like "Podium".

But I think we could add:
- Podium
- Orion
- EnergyXT

Yeah it's interesting to see how many Reaper users are using it on mac.
I tried the demo when it was still in beta and couldn't get on with it.
But if it now runs smooth on mac, maybe I'll try it out again.

as i see it, this poll should be more about traditional workstation sequencers like cubase, logic, reaper, sonar and the like ...
I voted for SF because I use it more than anything else, but agree there are a few more editor DAWs that could be included. Most will load VSTs, so they do cross over into DAW territory.

I have 5 of those (FL, Sonar 6, AA2.0 Samp 10.2 pro and one other on the list that would be wrong of me to talk about now) plus eXT. Here's my preference

1. Samp
2. The mystery one
3. FL/AA (Fl for midi AA for audio
4. Sonar
5. eXT

The friendly mod Meffy has added some missing options.
Thanks.

I'm voting for whichever one is the most patriotic and non pagan

I use EnergyXT, mostly version 2.x, and I've been flirting (demoing) Reaper, but haven't bought it yet.

What? Hello, XT has a subforum right here on KVR. There is definitely development going on.

Now whether or not the people who use it (like me) think it has enough features is another story.

Seems we have a top 3 ;)

1. Cubase/Nuendo (24)
2. Reaper (20)
3. Ableton Live (17)

Very interesting the success of Reaper :o
Some of the not expected losers: Logic.


Here the results from Gearslutz:

1. Cubase/Nuendo (59)
2. Pro Tools (47)
3. Logic (45)

IIRC in a similar poll a couple of years back FL Studio was runaway winner, and its interesting to see that its vote has tumbled this time, perhaps because of Reaper's growing success. Also the vote for Sonar has declined noticeably, again perhaps Reaper's success is a part of this.

Neah, it's just the economic crisis.
